When I joined the Railways in Australia in 1977 my mate and I used to sing this song in the booking office, with comical emphasis on the HOOOOHOOOOO part, in the meantime the queue of people waiting to buy train tickets at the window got longer and longer. Happy days !!!
This song was essentially a one hit wonder for two artists at the same time and neither actually performed it. Although one did sing it (not this one, this guy here is lip synching)
This gets stuck in my head all the time!! Even when I haven't heard it for a while, it pops into my head and then I can't get rid of it!! But I effing LOVE it!!!!!
This timeless piece from the 70's is on my playlist to this day. It doesn't matter that I can't speak French, what matters is the guitar work and that pace...
a song from my childhood in France. when I woke up as a kid listening to this it would give me "la pêche" (energy) for school. thanks Plastic you really are fantastic.
@@SultanOrhanGazi Non, 1977. Je me souviens bien de son début sur l'emission de Danielle Gilbert, "midi premiere", que je regardais chaque jour pendant mon lunch break. Je suis devenu Punk ce jour là.
@@bjornhurst-do4ce It's difficult to translate, it has lots of slang and idioms, would probably take more than a post to explain. The title could loosely be translated as "it works for me" or "i'm feeling good".
And Australia! I think possibly top 10. It was the happening thing in 78 😆 Still to this day have no fucking idea what he's saying. The translation is gobbledygook
Well Plastic Bertrand is actually a Belgian singer (born in Brussels in 1954) - so the French part of Belgium. He surfed the punk wave and with "ca plane pour moi" landed a world hit in 1977. Someone translated the song quite accurately a bit further down in the comments. I am a native French speaker and so I can tell you that "ca plane pour moi" (pronounce "sa" with the "a" like in "bat") means "it's allright for me" but "planer" also means "to glide" (airplane), hence being high after drug consumption. The whole song describes how he feels after having drunk too much, having f... a girl (she compliments him : "you are the king of the divan/sofa"). There's also a bit about drugs abuse... The girl dumps him and destroys everything in his flat. Sex, drugs and rock'n roll, the holy trilogy.
Right ! and as I saw English lyrics, it says at one point "that girl was such a bitch" when there is no connection, he says in fact "that girl, that foot!" (feet here means fun "what fun!") And "colle" [kol] it's not "drink" but "glue" (=drugs)
I was introduced to this song when European Vacation came out when I was about 13. I immediately loved it. Never knew what he was saying and didn't care, I just loved the song.
42 years looking for this song, and thanks to Sirius, I found it in 2021. Kind of hard finding a song If you don't even know what the hell he's saying.
I'm a child of the 60s. I don't speak French. Never heard this until today. Halfway through I'm singing along at the top of my lungs driving down the highway! Great song!
Mid 30s, spanish speaker with no clue of french... And couldn't resist to search this song after I listened in Ozark's last season. Now I can't stop listening this hit!!!
To anyone in 2021 who searched, found, danced, laughed, sang the wrong words apart from, "ooh ooh ooh" but enjoyed every second of it I'm very pleased to meet you. Have a fantastic day, try be kind to a stranger today. 🙏🙏

I was 23yrs when this came out & id been celebrating my birthday in the pub at lunchtime I got very drunk & didnt bother going back into work for the rest of the day But i got my pal Peter to take me into Woolworths( when Britain still had Woolies) I insisted they play this, my current favourite single & would they mind turning up the volume so i could hear it as it was my birthday! Luckily the shop wasnt busy, so they did, full max volume Then i danced, hopping up & down like Plastic Bertram ..ALL OVER THE SHOP, UP & DOWN THE AISLES & SINGING MY LUNGS OUT TOO!! Everyone was clapping, i was singing any words that came to mind, people came in off the street to watch my performance around the shop My pal Peter, red faced & cringing, tried to hide behind a rack of Ladies Tee Shirts, so i dragged him out & forced him to Bop round the shop too I think the recoŕd dept played the song 3 times & the shop manager who i swore was going to throw me out of his shop, presented me with this record As it was my birthday & id unknowingly attracted a stack of customers in off the street & were now filling their shopping baskets, full of good cheer & happy faces... What a birthday! Id probably get locked up today if o repeated it. Ive still got the single, on vinyl too Happy Days Cheers 🇬🇧👧

Une révolution ce titre en 77 ... j'avais 13 ans , paroles incompréhensibles , rythme de ouf mais à la première audition vous l'aviez dans la tête pour la journée . Merci Plastic ...
J'avais 17 ans, au bistrot avec les potes on l'a mis 10 fois de suite au juke box, le patron et les clients étaient devenus fous. "I am the king of the divan"
I was a kid and heard this song and I didn´t understand but I felt this is special. Now I´m 55 and I hear this song and now I understand that this is just hot. Plastic was waaayyyy ahead of his time. I love the speed, his voice, the vibe. I even understand the words, because I know a little bit French... Great song!
Back in the school days my friend and i used to sing this song daily in the assembly hall, it's been 7 years now we still laugh and sing this song whenever we meet.
I remember my french teacher used to play this all the time, 9 years on and I can sing it word for word and often return to make sure I can still do it 😂!
🇨🇿 super písnička na tuhle písničku jsem poprvé narazil ve filmu bláznivá dovolená v Evropě ve svých 16 letech,,, díky tomu filmu znám tuhle Peckovou písničku i po té létech je top ❤ teď je mi 20 a pořád to jedu to je hit
Right Leo, no concept of irony either! This thread was about respect for the man but I guess if you're not literal in everything you do, say or write, some dick will take offence!
Its amazing watching young people seeing the cereal advert and thinking this is a new song and band, jumping around saying how cool there music is......until I play it on here. To be fair, they then say how lucky there parents were to have great music.
Plastic Bertrand - Ça Plane Pour Moi ( That's the plane for me ) Wam! Bam! Mon chat, splatch Gît sur mon lit A bouffé sa langue En buvant dans mon whisky Quant à moi Peu dormi, vidé, brimé J'ai dû dormir dans la gouttière Où j'ai eu un flash Hou! Hou! Hou! Hou! En quatre couleurs Allez hop! Un matin Une louloute est v'nue chez-moi Poupée de Cellophane Cheveux chinois Un sparadrap Une gueule de bois A bu ma bière Dans un grand verre En caoutchouc Hou! Hou! Hou! Hou! Comme un indien dans son igloo Ça plane pour moi Ça plane pour moi Ça plane pour moi moi moi moi moi Ça plane pour moi Hou! Hou! Hou! Hou! Ça plane pour moi Allez hop! La nana Quel panard! Quelle vibration! De s'envoyer Sur le paillasson Limée, ruinée, vidée, comblée "You are the king of the divan!" Qu'elle me dit en passant houhouhouhou I am the king of the divan Ça plane pour moi Allez hop t'occupes t'inquiètes Touche pas ma planète It's not today que le ciel me tombera Sur la tête Et que l'alcool me manquera Hou hou hou hou Ça plane pour moi Allez hop ma nana s'est tirée, s'est barrée Enfin c'est marre, a tout cassé l'évier, le bar me laissant seul Comme un grand connard, houhouhouhou Le pied dans le plat Ça plane pour moi
Merci beaucoup à la Casa de Papel, c'est grâce à cette série que j'ai connu cette chanson.(Thank you very much to Casa de Papel, it is thanks to this series that I got to know this song.)
You didn't have Mrs Gediss or Ward then. I would have learnt some French maybe if I had you teacher. Most teachers at my school were awful, boring and dull.
You teacher was genious, with a little evil side: I'm a native French speaker and there are still lyrics I don't get (and I promised myself long ago I'll never check on Google)...
So much going on here its fantastic! I hear a glorious mix of anarchy in the UK, Subterranean Homesick Blues and a nice chunk of Johnny B Goode added to the mix. During the intro that brass section deep down in the mix could fit straight into soul numbers like sweet soul music or in the midnight hour!
English Translation Lyrics [Verse 1] Wham! Bam! My cat, Splash Is rolling around on my bed He swallowed his tongue as he drank all my whisky As for me, I've hardly slept, I feel empty and reprimanded I had to sleep in the gutter Where I had a flash of inspiration Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh In four colours [Verse 2] OK, let's go! One morning A babe came round to my house She looked like a cellophane doll with curly hair She was wearing a plaster and had a hangover She drank my beer in a large rubber glass Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Just like an Indian might do in his igloo [Chorus] It's all working out for me, it's all working out for me It's all working out for me-me-me-me-me It's all working out for me Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh It's all working out for me [Verse 3] OK, let's go! That babe was such a bitch What a vibration! Coming on the doormat Filed down, ruined, empty, but happy "You are the King of the Divan!" She says to me in passing I am the King of the Divan [Chorus] It's all working out for me, it's all working out for me It's all working out for me-me-me-me-me It's all working out for me Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh It's all working out for me [Verse 4] OK, let's go! Mind your own, keep your nose out Don't harm my planet Today's not the day the sky will fall down around my ears Or that I will have to go without a drink Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh It's all working out for me [Verse 4] OK, let's go! my baby upped and left She walked out on me, it's a shitty situation She broke everything, the sink, the bar And she left me all alone Like a total jerk Stuck here faced with the aftermath [Chorus] It's all working out for me, it's all working out for me It's all working out for me-me-me-me-me It's all working out for me Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh It's all working out for me It's all working out for me, it's all working out for me It's all working out for me-me-me-me-me It's all working out for me
I started to read it thought, nevermind I really dont need to understand it. It's like that quote by Morgan Freeman in Shawshank. Just the feel you get from it is what mattered and it's different for everyone.
In French the lyrics suck really 😂😂 and you can say.." mais le rythme est excellent ! I'm looking for music with this type of guitar sound somebody have a good song?
This was popular when I was just out of high school. Jackass would sometimes play it when they were doing something crazy. When I heard it on Ozark it made me so happy. Such a cool song and it NEVER gets old!

I dreamed with this song today. I was at some coast, living my best at the sunset jumping on some trampolines. And this song started. In that moment, I was the best version of me, my life was happy and I had will to live. It was very strong to me. Maybe I will start to learn french.
@@mikezuniga4066 The only "French" fries are those boiled by a clochard under a bridge in Paris using an old rusty tin of WD40 and a combination of various used oils and somewhat outdated potatoes from a nearby restaurant dumpster.
Bought the US Sire 45 in 1979 (?) during the New Wave era of New York Radio. Visited Bleeker Street record stores that were chock full of Stiff, Zee and other UK labels. Artists like Talking Heads, Devo, Blondie, Elvis Costello, Lena Lovich and one of my favorites: Ian Dury. Fun times.
who loves this song and doesn't understand a word he is saying.

Puts hands up
Is it about a king of the duvet?
I speak French and his words are still a mistery
I love all his songs and don't totally understand them but this I do understand.
I was searching for this song for ages and typed in ‘french song that sounds like the Beach Boys’ lmao
That wooOoo sounds exactly like them
Woafy ikr 🤠
@Andy Taylor Me too.
How did that bring you here? Sounds nothing like the Beach boys 😂
Jackie it’s the Woooo sound
Can't describe how fun and exciting this was to ten year olds in 1977 😅
This inspired me to take French lessons at School lol
the translation of the song is "this works for me" lol
Brother, I know exactly how you felt!
When I joined the Railways in Australia in 1977 my mate and I used to sing this song in the booking office, with comical emphasis on the HOOOOHOOOOO part, in the meantime the queue of people waiting to buy train tickets at the window got longer and longer. Happy days !!!
They’re still waiting to buy tickets.
I joined the railways in 84, for 4 years. Some good memories working with only men. Fun.😅
In the entire history of one hit wonders, this is surely a classic!
This song was essentially a one hit wonder for two artists at the same time and neither actually performed it. Although one did sing it (not this one, this guy here is lip synching)

One hit wonder??? He's got a least 3

Plastic Bertrand has over 20 million albums, he hardly classifies as a one hit wonder, just because you haven’t heard the rest of his discography.
Absolute classic! Don’t understand a word , I’m a 73 year old geezer want this played when I leave the party 😅

-- j'avais 13 ans --
moi aussi! :-)
J'avais 17 ans, au bistrot avec les potes on l'a mis 10 fois de suite au juke box, le patron et les clients étaient devenus fous. "I am the king of the divan"

Do not understand a word but his energy is too much to not care what’s said
as all good pop should be
Aha more energise
Uh.. You really should understand what he is saying 😂 because Im French and it's very different from normal songs-
@@Yyyyzyyy "I am the king of the divan"
Just time travelled back to the 80's. Music is brilliant. This is brilliant.
This is from the 70s
1977.
@@stephenbingham5935 And I'm old enough to remember seeing him perform this on TOTP ☹️
@@PlasticGirl65 Ditto. I look a lot like him. I say modestly.
@@stephenbingham5935 Lucky you.
Sir how many drugs have you taken?
Plastic: oui
C'est français! Si tu me voyais après la dose, c'est encore pire
Hold my glass of red wine 🍷 jean Paul going to do some more fat lines of coke 🤧
@@JazzFunk22 And he did, but so do most rock stars
Probably as many as you did 😂
You don't say Sherlock 🤗 🇧🇪
Always loved this as a ‘cleanser” between more serious music.The drumming is heroic on this, steady as a clock throughout.
Like eating a cracker between wine tasting to cleanse the palate. Great idea 👍
Ah yes between serious musoc, when this song is about feeling drunk, sex, and being higher than the sun.
No matter what. It's a great song, I've always loved it since I was a kid. Thanks for sharing!
R.I.P Lou Deprijck🙏🏼❤️
Bugger. Didn't know he'd died. RIP.
Not to be confused, the man on video singing is himself Plastic Bertrand, Roger François Jouret.
This song is absolutely FRENETIC! I've always loved it.
I love it cause it thrills me! It`s sooo great and I always MUST jump when listening this song! 😛🙃💋
The energy this song radiates could power ten thousand Tesla's.
If I listen to this in early morning I go out like my mind is dancing. You're right. Greetings from Italy
Ahhhh FINALLY!! I have been trying to find this song for months!! I finally found it.. so relieved..
The greatest use of the French language in rock music ever, stands the test of time ooh ooh ooooh
Ça Plane Pour Moi
Merci Plastic!!! quand je t écoute j ai toujours le sourire!!!!! toujours d actualité cette chanson!!!!
Ça plane pour moi aussi ,😘🌹🖤
I was a kid and heard this song and I didn´t understand but I felt this is special. Now I´m 55 and I hear this song and now I understand that this is just hot. Plastic was waaayyyy ahead of his time.
I love the speed, his voice, the vibe. I even understand the words, because I know a little bit French... Great song!
He admitted he didnt sing it though? Not his vocals. No one is aware I believe 🤔
I always loved this song . the energy is insane !
Back in the school days my friend and i used to sing this song daily in the assembly hall, it's been 7 years now we still laugh and sing this song whenever we meet.
More like 47 years
Merci Ozark, 🇫🇷
Love this song, remember getting me head kicked in at a funfare with this in the background
Wow was that you? Sorry mate
Parfait.
Theres always major scraps at funfares for some reason
If l had to pick just one song to have playing while being kicked in the head at funfair this would definitely be in my top ten.
Haha made me laugh out loud this comment
Lets goooooooooo
Ok?
You re the greatest
Let’s not
Oh look it’s clickbait man
You go here
I could listen to this all day long.
I remember my french teacher used to play this all the time, 9 years on and I can sing it word for word and often return to make sure I can still do it 😂!
Heard this on Ozark and had to find it. Thank you!
I remember buying this in the late 70’s still love it
It was in the German charts also for quite a while.
🇨🇿
super písnička
na tuhle písničku jsem poprvé narazil ve filmu bláznivá dovolená v Evropě ve svých 16 letech,,,
díky tomu filmu znám tuhle Peckovou písničku
i po té létech je top ❤
teď je mi 20 a pořád to jedu
to je hit
The only plastic we need in our lives...
yeah my high school jam
Guess your computers made out of wood ?
That's funny, mine too!!
What are you talking about?!
Right Leo, no concept of irony either! This thread was about respect for the man but I guess if you're not literal in everything you do, say or write, some dick will take offence!
I really love this song. It was really surprising to see it on La Casa de Papel
Its amazing watching young people seeing the cereal advert and thinking this is a new song and band, jumping around saying how cool there music is......until I play it on here.
To be fair, they then say how lucky there parents were to have great music.
Ach, die gute, alte Zeit........
So ahead of time !!!! Still fresh 40 years later......
Plastic Bertrand - Ça Plane Pour Moi ( That's the plane for me )
Wam! Bam!
Mon chat, splatch
Gît sur mon lit
A bouffé sa langue
En buvant dans mon whisky
Quant à moi
Peu dormi, vidé, brimé
J'ai dû dormir dans la gouttière
Où j'ai eu un flash
Hou! Hou! Hou! Hou!
En quatre couleurs
Allez hop!
Un matin
Une louloute est v'nue chez-moi
Poupée de Cellophane
Cheveux chinois
Un sparadrap
Une gueule de bois
A bu ma bière
Dans un grand verre
En caoutchouc
Hou! Hou! Hou! Hou!
Comme un indien dans son igloo
Ça plane pour moi
Ça plane pour moi
Ça plane pour moi moi moi moi moi
Ça plane pour moi
Hou! Hou! Hou! Hou!
Ça plane pour moi
Allez hop! La nana
Quel panard!
Quelle vibration!
De s'envoyer
Sur le paillasson
Limée, ruinée, vidée, comblée
"You are the king of the divan!"
Qu'elle me dit en passant houhouhouhou
I am the king of the divan
Ça plane pour moi
Allez hop t'occupes t'inquiètes
Touche pas ma planète
It's not today que le ciel me tombera
Sur la tête
Et que l'alcool me manquera
Hou hou hou hou
Ça plane pour moi
Allez hop ma nana s'est tirée, s'est barrée
Enfin c'est marre, a tout cassé
l'évier, le bar me laissant seul
Comme un grand connard, houhouhouhou
Le pied dans le plat
Ça plane pour moi
Thanks dude
Merci
Thanks so much! ❤️
Merciiiiiii!
Still all gibberish to me and to every civilized person :p (yeah I'm a Finn)
This was the moment we realised Punk had gone international...sounds quaint today...but it fucking blew our minds back then!!!
This song so iconic through many movies from the 90s and early 2000s and after two decades finally found this song.
I am 48 and remeber this as a fookijng great song from my youth :)))
2021- LET'S DANCE PEOPLE !
2022....let`s dance 4ever! Even in heaven...
The Grant Tour remembered me about this song!
Som rada, že som túto pieseň našla.
Never understood a word he said. But loved it!
As soon as the Corona stops doing its thing I need to make my way to Paris and drive up the Champs-Élysées with this song blaring at full volume.
“I am the king of the divan”
Okden, epic song and lyrics. Great line too.

That's me
Ahh you understand.
That's one drunk cat.🤣
It means i am the king of the bed doesnt it
It's had a resurgence of late in the UK (I'm typing this 2022-6-4) through use as the backing for a TV commercial. (IIRR for Kellog breakfast cereal.)
I remember seeing this on top of the pops as a kid and being glued to the tele
Who is listening to this Song in 2020 is a damn Legend😎
2021😂😂
2021🤣🤣🤣
I played this song in my Elementary school French class. The kids' favorite hands down. They really liked the Pigloo version.
2021 ..I AM LEGEND
2021
we used to speed roller skate to this song when I was a teenager, we are flying now :D
Ja ich bin jetzt 67 Jahre das noch schöne Zeiten ❤❤❤❤❤
Just discovered this song and its such a banger
Merci beaucoup à la Casa de Papel, c'est grâce à cette série que j'ai connu cette chanson.(Thank you very much to Casa de Papel, it is thanks to this series that I got to know this song.)
My teacher put this on while teaching us French stuff and we all had a mad rave
your teacher must have been ace
deemdoubleu meh not really it was a French lesson
I would have loved to have seen that! Nice one.
You didn't have Mrs Gediss or Ward then. I would have learnt some French maybe if I had you teacher. Most teachers at my school were awful, boring and dull.
You teacher was genious, with a little evil side: I'm a native French speaker and there are still lyrics I don't get (and I promised myself long ago I'll never check on Google)...
After all these years this song still hasn’t grown on me. It’s execrable.
I personally love this song but I appreciate your comment. It's clever.
So much going on here its fantastic! I hear a glorious mix of anarchy in the UK, Subterranean Homesick Blues and a nice chunk of Johnny B Goode added to the mix. During the intro that brass section deep down in the mix could fit straight into soul numbers like sweet soul music or in the midnight hour!
English Translation Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Wham! Bam! My cat, Splash
Is rolling around on my bed
He swallowed his tongue as he drank all my whisky
As for me, I've hardly slept, I feel empty and reprimanded
I had to sleep in the gutter
Where I had a flash of inspiration
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
In four colours
[Verse 2]
OK, let's go! One morning
A babe came round to my house
She looked like a cellophane doll with curly hair
She was wearing a plaster and had a hangover
She drank my beer in a large rubber glass
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Just like an Indian might do in his igloo
[Chorus]
It's all working out for me, it's all working out for me
It's all working out for me-me-me-me-me
It's all working out for me
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
It's all working out for me
[Verse 3]
OK, let's go! That babe was such a bitch
What a vibration!
Coming on the doormat
Filed down, ruined, empty, but happy
"You are the King of the Divan!"
She says to me in passing
I am the King of the Divan
[Chorus]
It's all working out for me, it's all working out for me
It's all working out for me-me-me-me-me
It's all working out for me
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
It's all working out for me
[Verse 4]
OK, let's go! Mind your own, keep your nose out
Don't harm my planet
Today's not the day the sky will fall down around my ears
Or that I will have to go without a drink
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
It's all working out for me
[Verse 4]
OK, let's go! my baby upped and left
She walked out on me, it's a shitty situation
She broke everything, the sink, the bar
And she left me all alone
Like a total jerk
Stuck here faced with the aftermath
[Chorus]
It's all working out for me, it's all working out for me
It's all working out for me-me-me-me-me
It's all working out for me
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
It's all working out for me
It's all working out for me, it's all working out for me
It's all working out for me-me-me-me-me
It's all working out for me
I started to read it thought, nevermind I really dont need to understand it. It's like that quote by Morgan Freeman in Shawshank. Just the feel you get from it is what mattered and it's different for everyone.
Haha the lyrics suck. It's better in his own language cos don't know what the hell he's saying.
In French the lyrics suck really 😂😂 and you can say.." mais le rythme est excellent ! I'm looking for music with this type of guitar sound somebody have a good song?
pretty good, although reprimanded does not fit the mood of the song, the sense is more like I feel like I've been hit by a bus
OK. It doesn't really translate very well lol would love to hear someone attempt it with those English lyrics though 😂
No clue what the dude is even saying. But it's hand's down one of the best songs I've ever heard.
Долго искал эту очень энергичную песню...
This was popular when I was just out of high school. Jackass would sometimes play it when they were doing something crazy. When I heard it on Ozark it made me so happy. Such a cool song and it NEVER gets old!
Heard it in Eurotrip several years ago and got me hooked!
This is the most french song I have ever watched.
He's actually Belgian.
Fantastico fantastico.... semplicemente fantastico 😁😁😁😁many memories!
''YOU ARE THE KING OF THE DIVAN'' WOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!comme moi Ça Plane Pour Moi!!!!!!
,,TOUCHE PAS MA PLANET!!!!!PLuTON et si je SMOK-SKORPION A.S.cendentalna Lwica JAM JEST ANNA ,,PEŁNA ŁASKI'' więc może Was dzisiaj nie POŻRĘ NA ŚNIszADA?NIE hahaha BEAUCOUPE D'AMOUR POUR TOUS CEux-QUI LA VEUT ;D
I dreamed with this song today. I was at some coast, living my best at the sunset jumping on some trampolines. And this song started. In that moment, I was the best version of me, my life was happy and I had will to live. It was very strong to me. Maybe I will start to learn french.
One of the best things to come out of Belgium others include great beer and chocolate
That's my idea of a great night, Plastic, beer and chocolate.
And firearms. Fabrique Nationale - FN, an unusual combination agreed
Don’t forget “French” fries 🍟
@@mikezuniga4066 The only "French" fries are those boiled by a clochard under a bridge in Paris using an old rusty tin of WD40 and a combination of various used oils and somewhat outdated potatoes from a nearby restaurant dumpster.
Bought the US Sire 45 in 1979 (?) during the New Wave era of New York Radio. Visited Bleeker Street record stores that were chock full of Stiff, Zee and other UK labels. Artists like Talking Heads, Devo, Blondie, Elvis Costello, Lena Lovich and one of my favorites: Ian Dury. Fun times.
1977- 2018 musique toujours aussi moderne !
Superbe belle chanson ! 😁
Fabulous Europop….a complete delight in these days of so called pop.
Didn't realise it was recorded in the 70s. Way ahead of its time, amazing tune.
elle est tellement bien cette chanson , qu'elle est toujours aussi plaisante à écouter plus de 43 ans après ...!!!
C'est un homme
Este tema y Born to be alive, qué dos enormes One hit wonders!!! Qué marcha proporcionan!!!
Born to be pour moi 😀
We need a mash-up 😀
Ça plane pour moi!! Adoro este temazo desde que lo escuché por primera vez
Un héros de mon enfance, il était et est fantastique. ❤
Sono qui grazie ai cereali! 🤔 ho troppo tempo libero...
No-one can refuse to dance to this!
He crowned himself. He is the king and you must submit.
I'd submit 😜
the fact that this is still in my head after so many years, Love it!!!!!
